McLaren have hinted that they may be interested in signing Kimi Raikkonen if
his quest to find a new team fails.

The suggestion from Martin Whitmarsh, the McLaren team principal, came
straight from left field after a series of statements underlining the team’s
commitment to the partnership of Jenson Button and Sergio Pérez.

As revealed by The Times, Button is expected to sign a new contract
within days, but the performance of Pérez this season has come into
question, with critics claiming he is too hot-headed for a leading team.
Pérez was penalised at the Belgian Grand Prix on Sunday
